Psych Boston · Serving Malden & Middlesex County
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Malden, MA
A child and adolescent psychiatrist evaluates and treats emotional, behavioral and developmental concerns in children and teens, working closely with parents, schools and therapists so care makes sense at home and in the classroom.
Psych Boston provides child and adolescent psychiatry for patients in Malden, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Malden is one of the most diverse cities in Greater Boston, with many residents commuting by Orange Line, so we offer telehealth options that avoid long trips across town.
Child and adolescent psychiatry for Malden patients: who it helps
People from Malden come to us for child and adolescent psychiatry for many reasons, including:
- Children and teens with attention, focus or hyperactivity concerns
- Kids with worry, panic, school refusal or separation anxiety
- Teens with low mood, irritability, sleep changes or withdrawal
- Children with behavior problems at home or school
- Autistic children and teens with co-occurring anxiety, attention or sleep concerns
What to expect
- Parent and child interview: We meet with parents and the child or teen, together and separately when appropriate, to understand development, school, family and current concerns.
- School and outside input: With your permission, teacher feedback, report cards, rating scales and previous evaluations help complete the picture.
- Diagnosis and family plan: Your psychiatrist explains findings in plain language and outlines options such as therapy, parenting strategies, school accommodations and medication when appropriate.
- Follow-up and coordination: Regular follow-ups track progress, and we coordinate with pediatricians, therapists and school teams when families want us to.
